Abstract:Cisco announced the general availability of Cisco Application Policy Infrastructure Controller Enterprise Module (APIC-EM), a software-defined networking (SDN) controller designed to orchestrate and manage local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs) composed of Cisco infrastructure. APIC-EM is shipping initially with three network applications tailored to address specific use cases. The IWAN Application allows enterprises to provision and manage WANs based on Cisco’s Intelligent WAN (IWAN) architecture. The Plug and Play Application unifies the configuration process for Cisco switches, routers, and wireless access points. Finally, the Path Trace Application is a troubleshooting tool that can help administrators analyze and diagnose trouble on the path between any two network nodes.
